Remote won't open PSD

OK...I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post...I've recently purchased a used 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette which has a power sliding door on the passenger side.

The switch in the overhead console & column work fine, as does simply using the door handle, with no unusual noise...Unfortunately, the door will not open using the button on the remote transmitter/key fob...It seems the signal is being sent because I can hear the relay by the BCM switching.

I've tried the diagnostics and reinitialization procedure I found on this forum...No error codes were reported, and no change in the behavior.

I'm begging someone to please help me solve this mystery. :1zhelp:

Thanks for taking the time to help!!!

I can't think of anything that would cause what you describe. But I'm not aware of the relay sound you mention from the BCM. I have a 99 silo and I've not heard that. Can you describe it in more detail? Where is the sound located? Is it a 1 for 1 response to you pushing the door button?

X,

There is the off-chance the door locking/unlocking mode is set wrong. Check your owners manual for the procedures. There is 4 to choose from.
